Status Quo live are unbeatable. Their music is primal, folksy and samey, true, but they build a communion with the audience like very few other acts can. I saw them in 1976/77, darn was it memorable and Francis Rossi even adressed me personally from the stage!

Ah yes us Australians are shocking for  bastardizing other languages. I speak schoolboy French and make a concerted effort to get the pronunciation correct. I remember some people in my refresher class just before I went to france in the 90's....

Merci beaucoup and  s'il vous plaît   translated to: Murky bucket, silver plate.  Therefore Uwe = You...right?   ;)

It's more "Ooohwuh!"

What did Herr Rossi say to me? It's firmly embedded in my memory. I was standing in the front row and it was after their opening song, Junior's Wailing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smw1UuK4SXs&feature=related

(performance starts at 0.52)

Status Quo were only my second rock gig after I had seen Rainbow a few months earlier. Rainbow had been great, but Quo were magic. I was wildly headbangig. To such an ecstatic degree that the people around began to look puzzled. And I noticed that eventually, stopping dead in my tracks. Looked up to the stage and there I met Francis Rossi's friendly gaze and he smiled at me, bowed down a little and said: "You can keep on going son, that's alright!"

I get goosebumps even writing it today!  :-[

Next he'll tell us about the time he was in the front row at an Elvis concert, and Elvis looked at him and said "Thank Uwe, thank Uwe very much."  :)
